What is reason for raise in fuel consumption of a ship?

Followings could be some reasons for raise in fuel consumption of a ship:

1- Bad quality fuel

2- faulty fuel pump/ fuel valves (main engine)

3- ship's bottom being dirty

4- faulty turbo charger (main engine)

5- blow by of the piston rings (main engine)

5- leaky inlet/exh. valves (main engine)

6- leakage in fuel system (pipping)

7- faulty fuel oil separator

8- Unprefect bunckering

9-.....etc.

What is the formula of fuel oil consumption of cargo ship?

First you need to convert the transit time into hours by multiplying the number of days by 24; you need to add any remaining hours to this result. Then you need to know how much fuel the ship takes per hours. Finally, you multiply the number of hours by the best fuel consumption.

How much fuel does a ship use?

Simple answering is not possible as so many factors affecting the consumption of fuel in a ship viz Engine output, engine type, engine, model, engine manufacturer, additional facilities, passenger or goods carrying ship.

A 600' Oil Tanker will use about 8,800 gallons of Bunker C per day at cruise speed.

What is the cube rule for Marine slow speed engine fuel consumption?

In operation, the ship’s fuel consumption depends on its hull condition and the speed at which it is operated. When a ship is designed, naval architects optimize the hull and power plant to a prescribed design speed which may be, for example, 15 knots for a bulk carrier or 18 knots for a small container ship. Operation of the vessel at lower speeds results in fuel savings because of the reduced water resistance, which, according…

What is the Fuel consumption of a cargo ship?

The amount of fuel burn for a marine vessel is dependent on multiple factors. These include the vessel size, tonnage, propulsion type (fuel oil, diesel, nuclear, etc.), speed, marine conditions, and the engine efficiency itself.

How do you calculate the Specific Fuel Oil consumption on a ship?

SFOC = Mass of fuel burnt to produce a unit power in 1 hour. SFOC = Mass of fuel / kW in 1 hour Density = Mass / Volume Mass of fuel = Density X Volume SFOC = Mass of fuel / kW power in 1 hour You get the value is Kg, But to specify in Grams you have to multiply the answer by 1000. Let us calculate SFOC with given values, For a…

How is fuel consumption on a ship calculated?

I believe it would be either gallons per hour or tons (of fuel) per hour. Well ships vary in their sizes and so does the fuel consumption. As i have been sailing for last 10 years, ive seen ships consumtion of oil ranging from 35 tons/day to 110 tons/day. Fuel consumption on board ship is by taking flowmeters which are installed on the fuel oil line going to the engines. The reading is taken everyday…

Why does mass of a body vary with velocity?

Here's one way of looking at it: you have to consider the problem from two different frames of reference. Let's set one as a spaceship accelerating at some speed above 0.5c. The other will be a rest frame, the inertial frame from which the ship departed. Each frame contains an identical clock. Each clock, tested before separation, ticks off identical seconds. If I send the ship out and back at high acceleration, then compare the…

Where is the gas tank on a cruise ship?

There is no gas tank on a cruise ship. There are fuel tanks, which hold the bunker fuel and they are usually located in the bilge of the ship. (Compartments below the waterline)

The reason a ship floats is because?

The basic reason that a ship floats is that the enclosed volume in the ship's hull is greater than the volume of water which has the same mass as the ship.

If your ship burns 8 tons of fuel per hour at 15 knot show many tons per hour will burn at 18 knots?

(9.6 tons per hour) is incorrect. Here's why. F= New Fuel Consumption S= New Speed Fo= Lot Fuel Consumption So= Old Speed Formula; F=(S3 x Fo)/So3 Equation; F=(183 x 8)/153 F= 46656/3375 F= 13.8 tons

How much does a cruise liner hold in fuel?

Cruise ship fuel capacity depends on many factors. These include the type of fuel the ship uses, the size and design of the ship, the duration of the cruise, and the length of each leg of the cruise before it reaches a port where fuel can be replenished. It also depends on the amount of time the ship will be docked in various cruise ports rather than cruising.

Is fuel consumption for bulk carriers same as for container ships?

Fuel consumption is dependant on the power required to operate the ship. This is a function of the vessels design speed and resistance or drag. A container vessel travels at much higher speeds than a bulk carrier and since an increase in speed will lead to a cubed increase in fuel consumption, it takes a lot more fuel to travel at this higher speed. However, the drag of a bulk carrier is much higher than…

Why do astronauts need to take fuel to outer space?

That is an idiotic question. To get home! Without fuel in outer space, the ship would keep its current inertia and be lost. Fuel is used to change the trajectory of the ship.

How much fuel is on an aircraft carrier for plane consumption?

It varies with the ship class and mission, but typical loadout is several million gallons of JP-5 aviation gasoline. Keep in mind also that carrier aircraft don't necessarily always refuel aboard ship, with current aerial refueling capability, which also stretches the onboard supply.

How much fuel did the titanic use?

Fuel consumption is directly proportional to velocity. The Titanic was coal fired and had two reciprocating steam engines on each power wing, and one central shaft driven turbine which ran on the waste steam from the main engines. The intermediate shaft ran only (ahead) the others could run both ahead and astern. An SIRT boat burns up about 500 Gallons per hour and this is at a relative velocity of l7.5 knots . I don"t…

Why is there a bulb protruding out of the bow of the ship at the waterline?

It basically directs the water around the hull in a more efficient manner. It is able to increase the speed of the vessel by decreasing drag. It has a positive effect on the speed, fuel consumption and stability of the vessel. Check out the related link below for more information.
